This diet was easier than I thought to stick to. I did find the first phase a little tricky at first but once I became used to cutting out the carbs, I started to enjoy eating the healthier alternatives and didn't feel so hungry all the time. I like the fact that this diet gave me time to think about eating healthily (most of the time!! I do still miss the odd donut) I hardly ever ate fish before this, just because I always thought it was such a chore to cook, but I was pleased to have found some great fish recipes on Goodtoknow which are so easy to follow. Thanks for that! I've lost 10lbs in 2 months and am still going strong with this diet as I feel happier and healthier. Jenny

Can you eat as much as you want and when you want, or should one still watch how much intake you take... 10lbs in two months is really good... is this a sure way to lose weight? and what does it mean in " first phase " I'm sorry i'm full of questions, I'm going to try this diet, but need to know a little more about it... Many thanks M
